PHOTOS: Singapore Is Building An Army Of 150-Foot Tall Supertrees

To develop its Marina Bay area, Singapore is building 18 "supertrees" as tall as 164 feet as part of a mulit-million project called Gardens by the Bay. The artificial forest will open to the public on June 29.

The trees will also generate solar power, collect rainwater and cool the buildings in the area. There will even be an aerial walkway between some of the trees to provide citizens and tourists with spectacular views of Singapore's downtown district.

According to CNN, first prime minister of the Republic of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew said the gardens would become "the pride of Singapore."
